MidCity

Where to Drink Cocktails in Atlanta | Eater Atlanta

"MidCity has operated in some capacity for over a decade, and while it isn’t a new bar per se, it does have a new cocktail program developed by Jose Pereiro, a food and beverage photographer and beverage specialist, better known as “the Cocktail Shaker” on social media and to friends in the industry. Hidden in plain sight, the bar and listening lounge has recently hosted mixology innovators and guest bartenders, like Mexico City’s Eric van Beek of Handshake Bar. Signature cocktails are named after the most prominent ingredient (for example, carrot cake, banana, corn, watermelon, and cucumber are all names of drinks on the menu), and the classics include great interpretations of classics like the spicy margarita, negroni bianco, and old-fashioned. Walk-ins only." - Allison Ramirez
